The Program Committee for the Twentieth Annual Conference of the 
Northeast American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies seeks 
panels and papers from all disciplines addressing the theme, "READING 
THE LANGUAGES OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY," including vocabulary, para- 
digmatic structures, private/public discourse, concepts of commonwealth, 
and cultural connections. 
 
Scholars from the fields of history, literature, music, philosophy, 
politics, the sciences, and the visual arts are invited to submit 
proposals for complete panels or individual papers.  Since individual 
papers are sometimes difficult to fit into panels, potential panelists 
are encouraged to use the H-Net to identify others who might join in 
sponsoring a complete panel. 
 
Panel proposals and abstracts (up to 500 words) should be sent to one 
of the conference chairs no later than December 1, 1995: 
 
   Professor Maurice A. Geracht    ([log in to unmask])
